The Betsy Ross flag has nothing to do with slavery. These people are idiots.

The flag was made in the "slave era", so I guess everything from that era is offensive, including this country, to Kapernik. What a joke this guy is.

Also, I read something yesterday that said Betsy Ross was a Quaker, which, the author thought, probably meant she was an abolitionist. I have always liked the American Flag from that era. I think the circle of stars was quite nice.

Uh, not it has not been used by those groups.

Thank you for pointing that out. Today, someone, I think on Varney, stated that they had spent a lot of time trying to find one rascist group that uses that flag; and, they could not find any. It is a lie that the media is pushing.

Its a flat out lie, used to excuse their own bigotry against patriotic citizens.

I haven’t bought anything from Nike in more than 25 years.

It ain’t hard to avoid them.
